Subject: [PATCH] Do not reset override MIME type

It does not make much sense as overrideMimeType() isn't blocked from being used before open() is invoked. (And 3/4 of the major implementations do not have this behavior.)

Partially reverts 121cee50b6f51215f046266642964b4c53a02a7c.

Tests: https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/pull/12404.

Closes https://github.com/web-platform-tests/wpt/issues/12289.
